Sony® VPCCW21FX Recovery Disc Information (USA EU UK AU)

The majority of computers ship without Windows® installation DVDs. To save production costs computers are now supplied with a recovery partition. This recovery partition is found as a system reserved area on the hard drive. When invoked this is supposed to recover the computer to its factory state. The majority of of these recovery partitions are accidentally formatted or the hard drive ends up being replaced or breaks down. These DVDs will provide the user with, what we consider is, the best factory reset solution available. We can supply anything from just a Windows® XP Driver DVD written specifically for your system, to a full genuine legal version of Windows® (Supplied by a Digital Partner authorized by Microsoft®). All Windows® operating systems are supplied with our own driver DVDs, these DVDs automatically scan and update all your drivers, making sure you always have the most up to date available. Full legal operating systems are now available for Windows® XP, Windows® Vista, Windows® 7 & Windows® 8. As far as we know this is the most complete and bloatware free factory reset possible. Even if the operating system will not start and there is still precious data on the hard drive, an option is available to be supplied with a free separate data recovery DVD. It is worth noting that these DVDs are over 2.8Gb in size. You will be asked to use our download manager to ensure digital delivery and manage the large DVD images. These downloads are (SP3) Service Pack 3 for Windows® XP, (SP2) Service Pack 2 update for Windows® Vista and Windows® 7 and (SP2) Service Pack 2 for Windows® 8. Without at least (SP2) Service Pack 2 you would need to install many more hundreds of updates. Since we use a Microsoft® official download channel, you can also be assured that you will receive a DVD image free of malicious software. To use this Recovery you will need a genuine legal Windows® product key or this installation will only run for a month. If you have a legal product key, this recovery system will activate your Windows® with your product key. (We do not supply you with a Windows® License or Product Key or Serial Number! You must already have a COA as this service is for re-installation only)

Windows® default drivers are designed so that that basic start-up requirements are met, such as being able to see the display. These are not optimized for the VPCCW21FX and are very very slow.
